317fabricCotton chambray

Chambray was originally woven from linen in the town of Cambrai in northern France, dating to the 16th century. Before industrialisation it was a high-quality cloth used for formal dress and accessories. But because of its lightweight and durable qualities, cotton chambray later became a common shirting fabric for workers’ uniforms, especially in the United States, which gave rise to the term ‘blue-collar worker’.

The characteristic heathered and slightly faded lustre of chambray
fabrics is created when white weft threads, running horizontally in
the loom, pass over coloured warp threads in a balanced and even cross
pattern. It is a lightweight, closely woven cotton fabric with an
appearance somewhat similar to denim but with an identical face and back.

the US Navy during the first half of the 20th century.
